Key Features
Comprehensive 12-Piece Pack: Provides a full set of replacements with extra spares to ensure every corner of your sink grid is properly supported.
Broad Compatibility: Engineered specifically to fit Whitehaus models GR2215, GR3214, GR3618, and several WHREV series grids, as well as ALFI Brand ABGR3318.
Precision 3mm Diameter Fit: Designed to snap securely onto any grid leg with a diameter of approximately 3mm for a tight, reliable grip.
Anti-Scratch Protection: The soft rubber material prevents direct metal-on-sink contact, shielding your fireclay or stainless steel from permanent abrasions.
Non-Slip Stability: Increases friction against the sink floor to prevent the grid from sliding around while you are washing heavy pots or sharp cutlery.
Durable Black Finish: The resilient black rubber is designed to resist cracking and hides grease or mineral buildup better than transparent alternatives.
Inside the Feature
The Role of the 3mm Friction Fit
The effectiveness of a sink grid foot relies entirely on its internal diameter and the quality of its friction fit. Think of these feet like a well-fitted pair of boots for your grid; if they are too loose, they will fall off down the drain, and if they are too tight, they will split during installation. The GRFT-B-12 is precision-molded to accommodate a 3mm wire gauge. This specific sizing creates a vacuum-like seal against the stainless steel leg. This ensures that even when the grid is subjected to the high-pressure water of a sprayer or the shifting weight of heavy cast iron, the feet remain anchored in place to provide a constant protective barrier for your sink’s finish.
Installation Guide
Thoroughly clean the legs of your stainless steel grid to remove any old soap scum or grease before sliding on the new feet.
Align the opening of the rubber foot with the end of the grid leg and push firmly until the wire is fully seated in the rubber channel.
Verify that all feet are pushed to the same depth to ensure the grid sits perfectly level on the sink floor.
If a foot feels tight, a drop of liquid dish soap can act as a temporary lubricant to help the rubber slide over the 3mm wire.
Care & Maintenance
Monthly Inspections: Check each foot periodically to ensure none have been knocked loose during heavy cleaning sessions.
Gentle Cleaning: Soak the feet in warm, soapy water to remove any trapped debris that could potentially harbor bacteria.
Avoid Harsh Acids: Keep concentrated drain cleaners or harsh acidic chemicals away from the rubber to prevent the material from becoming brittle.
Rinse Regularly: Ensure food particles are rinsed away from the bottom of the feet to prevent them from getting trapped against the sink glaze.
Replacement Schedule: Swap out the feet if you notice the rubber starting to harden or if the grip on the 3mm wire begins to loosen.
FAQ
Q: Will these fit grids from other manufacturers?
A: They are designed for Whitehaus and ALFI grids with 3mm legs; they may fit others, but a perfect fit is only guaranteed for the models listed.
Q: How many feet are included in one order?
A: This is a 12-piece pack, which is usually enough for two full grid refreshes depending on your model.
Q: Are these feet heat resistant?
A: While they are durable rubber, we do not recommend placing boiling hot pots directly over a foot as extreme heat can soften the material.
Q: Do I need any tools or glue to install these?
A: No, they are designed to simply pop on and stay in place through friction.
Q: Can these be used on cooling racks or trivets?
A: They may work for those items if the wire diameter is around 3mm, though they are primarily intended for sink grids.
Q: Why are these feet black instead of clear?
A: Black rubber is often preferred because it hides stains and mineral deposits better than clear versions, which can turn yellow over time.
Q: Will these prevent my sink from staining?
A: They prevent scratches where stains often start, but you should still follow regular sink cleaning protocols.
Q: What happens if they fall off down the drain?
A: This pack includes 12 pieces precisely so you have spares in case one is lost during cleaning.
What Customers Are Saying
A property manager in Portland, Oregon, needed to refresh the kitchens in several upscale rentals where the original grid feet had worn down over years of use.
These feet were a perfect fit for our Whitehaus fireclay sink grids and saved us from having to buy brand new racks for every unit. They stay on tight and keep the metal from leaving those ugly grey marks on the white porcelain.

Beyond the Technical Specs
Long-Term Reliability and Protection
Whitehaus is a brand synonymous with luxury and durability in the kitchen, but even the best equipment requires occasional maintenance to stay in top form. The GRFT-B-12 replacement feet are a testament to the brand's commitment to the total ownership experience. By providing access to these specific, high-quality components, Whitehaus ensures that your sink grid continues to protect your investment for decades. These rubber feet are not just accessories; they are the primary defense mechanism for your sink's glaze. Without them, the vibration of running water and the weight of heavy pots can cause the stainless steel grid to act like sandpaper against your sink floor. Replacing them regularly is the smartest way to prevent costly surface repairs.
In addition to surface protection, these feet significantly improve the ergonomics of your kitchen. A grid that slides or wobbles is not just annoying; it can be a hazard when handling delicate glassware or heavy, hot pans. The non-slip nature of the black rubber ensures a stable, level platform for all your kitchen tasks. Furthermore, choosing a 12-pack of genuine replacements over generic 'universal' options reduces waste and ensures a perfect 3mm fit that won't fail prematurely. It is this attention to the small details—ensuring stability, preventing noise, and shielding your sink’s finish—that maintains the high-end feel of a professional kitchen. It is a minor update that yields major long-term benefits for the daily functionality of your home.
Why Choose This Sink?
Exact Factory Match: These are the genuine replacement parts intended for Whitehaus accessories, ensuring zero guesswork regarding compatibility.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: A small investment in these feet prevents the need for expensive sink resurfacing or full grid replacement.
Enhanced Performance: Restores the original 'cushioned' feel of your sink workstation, making kitchen tasks quieter and safer for your glassware.
